Framingham MA Real Estate Market Analysis

Real Estate Re-cap for 2013

The Framingham Real Estate market for 2013 was nothing like in years past. In 2013 Framingham saw a complete turnaround with the market shifting from a buyers market to a full fledged sellers market. Not since 2005 did we see such a real estate frenzy especially in the early stages of 2013 through the Spring time.

The market was characterized by homes going under agreement very quickly. This was especially true if homes were priced under the $450,000 price point. Any way you want to measure the market 2013 was better than in years past. There were far more homes sold in 2013 in quite a long time. In fact it should be noted in the stats above where it says 500+ that there is not an exact figure because the multiple listing service does not track higher than 500 homes sold. That right there should tell you something. The other really note worthy statistic is the fact that the average days on the market was done by more than a month from 2012. Home took a much quicker time to sell. The average price for a home also increased.

What drove the market was the fact that inventory remained tight throughout the year. Lower home inventory levels are always great for those considering to sell their home, as supply and demand is always a factor with Real Estate values. Framingham was certainly one of the top performing towns in the entire Metrowest area this past year.

In 2013 in Framingham there were over 500 home sales. In fact the multiple listing service does not show the amount of sales when it goes over 500 which is disappointing because I can’t show the exact amount! For 2012 there were 473 sales. There were more than 100 more sales in 2013!.

Analysis of current 2014 Framingham market.

Current home inventory increased from last month with an additional 8 properties being added to the existing home for sale inventory levels. As we move into August, inventory has continued to go up each month for the fifth consecutive time. Supply and demand can have a dramtic effect on what happens in the real estate market. With inventory continuing to rise it bears watching. Right now supply and demand are still in line with one another.

Sellers are still sitting in the drivers seat at the moment as inventory levels are have not approached what would be considered a buyers market.

July was another exceptional month for closed sales. There were 84 properties that closed in July which was up substantially from last year when there were 71 sales.

The amount of homes going under contract in July was decent with 43.

Closed homes this year vs last

There have been 295 sales this year compared to 326 at this same point in time last year.
